Mendime kritike

Gëzohem shumë edhe
është nder për mua që mora përsipër
dhe bashkova dy krijues të rëndësishëm
dhe të aftë në Antologjinë Poetike të Letrave Greke që e botova në vitin 2007 në Greqi, në kujtim
të Ëngjëjve, dhe rreshtova në Antlogji zotin Kristaq F. Shabani dhe z. Petro Dudi.
Fatkeqësisht për mungesë vendi nuk munda
të përmbledh më shumë poetë miq shqiptarë, fatkeqësisht nuk munda.

Po vij tani të afrohem me dimensionin mendor edhe të shpirtit të z. Kristaq F. Shabani, i cili drejton Lidhjen e
Krijuesve “PEGASI” , në Gjirokastër dhe Tiranë që ka mbledhur kaq shumë krijues
shqiptarë afër tij nga e gjithë Shqipëria e që mbështet letërsinë edhe boton
shumë gazeta edhe botime të tjera nëpër vendin e tij dhe në Botë. Të frohem nj
ë kombëtar që beson edhe interesohet
edhe lodhet për rilindjen kulturore të
Shqipërisë, që realizon vitet e fundit
festivale botërore të Poezisë në Gjirokastër, Tiranë edhe synon bashkëpunimin e
popujve në Ballkan, që bashkon krijues nga Ballkani, nga Evropa edhe Bota këtu
në Shqipëri, Z Kristaq që do Greqinë kaq
shumë që e përqafon Greqinë…

Guxoj të quaj zotin Kristaq F. Shabani
një njeri bashkëkohor të një klase të re të gjerave që duan të të
udhëheqin në gjerësinë më të madhe në Shqipëri, të jetë mikeshë me
Botën dhe më e rëndësishme për gjithë Botën. Edhe atë e arrin nëpërmjet letërsisë zoti Kristaq, sepse si krijues e do Mendimin dhe krijon, dhe si ushtarak nga ato
që mendon drejt dhe në mënëyrë dinamike,
më në fund atë bën.

Dhe tani t’i afrohem veprës së tij poetike që e njoh nga hapat e tij të
para poetike, që e respektoj dhe e dua
më shumë, që e njoh tani në pjekurine tij. Idealist edhe
“ajror” zoti, Kristaq F. Shabani flet për dashurinë, flet për Erosin,
për miqësinë, për tradhtinë, flet për Atdheun e tij, flet për Botën. Njerëzor
dhe ndërkombëtar Kristaq F. Shabani zgjedh
vargun e tij epigramatik në vjershat e
tij që kaq ashpër i mbyll çastet lirike të ikonave të tij… Pse? U
mendova.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:44 pm

Pse nuk zbulon të tëra ato që do që nga fillimi i veprës së tij?… Pse nuk
shprehet lirisht?... Pse shtyp bukurinë, që ndjen brend ashpirtit të tij? Më
duket që është përmbajtësia e poetit, i cili ka frikë të zbulojë me
ndjenjë edhe të vërtetën që e ndjen pas vargjeve të tija. Është e tmerrshme, kur
shprehet në botë atë kur pranon
pëson sulmet ende edhe për atë që shprehet në mënyrë
poetike. Poezia është një temë e vështirë shumë. Vargu pothuajse vonon poetin
në fillim të veprës së tij, pastaj poeti dinamik, i fortë (I çmueshëm , I aftë) po kalon
vargjet e tija, përmbyt botën e tij të brendshme dhe të jashtme moëprsëri me
njëj lëndë poetike . Dhe atë që e prisja nga z. Kristaq F. Shabani po bëhet.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:44 pm

U zbulua në rrjedhjen këmbëngulëse të veprës së tij dhe që
trupëzohet vazhdimisht. Madje ndjenja e z. Kristaq e drejton edhe mendimi i tij
pa fre , edhe fantasia. Është i aftësuar
në mënyrë shumë me fantazi dhe shikim (të mb… dhe me një
damar të pastër të fshetësisë (sekretizmit ). Që të kuptojmë zotin Kristaq
duhet të ikim nga Toka. Bota e tij gdhendet lart me shumë drita dhe ideale.
Bota e pa arritur e tij në fusha qiellore. Po lën trupin trupin dhe mendjen
tënde në tokë. Edhe më mënyrë lartësohet nga toka, nga … ngrohtësia e ikonave të tija
(ripagëzimi), nga çudia e super realizmit të tij. Një njeri i till poet super
realist që me të vertëtë vlen të humbasësh brenda ikonave të tija . Vlen të
ikim nga manjeti tokësor i egër i Tokës dhe të jetojmë për pak kohë në
lartësinë e pa arritur të ikonave të tija. Veprat e pjekurisë së tij më japin
të drejtë t’iI shkruaj këto fjalë. Ajo që bën zoti Kristaq të dallohet
nëpërmjet krijuesve të tjerë është çfarë po na jep një ekstazë habie poetike në
lartësitë e veprës së tij, atje ku ikonat e tij manjetizojnë krejtësisht edhe
ndriçojnë dhe kanë dalë jashtë vargut.
Nuk është tema e një revolucioni, por
edhe e një realizimi mendor çudirat e brendshme
që po ngjajnë në brendësinë tonë, që sjell
pjekuria… që sjell Perëndia.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:45 pm

Është e çuditshme që Kristaq F. Shabani, i ngjan Prometheut, Preometheut të
lidhur, që ndjen dhimbje, por asnjë nuk shikon dhimbjen e tij, “ulërimat” e tij
për drejt Perëndive. Janë ngjyrat dhe ikonat (figurat) zalia mistike dhe zgjuarsia, që ndodhen të burgosura në vargjet e tij dhe
kërkojnë të çlirohen… Nuk e kuptojmë poetët mistikë, por duhet të mundohemi sa
më shumë.

Duke mbaruar këtë shënim kritik miqësor të mos harroj të flas për violinën
e padukshme të kohëve tona që të gjithë ne poetët duam të arrijmë. Që janë mbi
orkestrën tonë kozmike dhe duhet të arrijmë që t’i shikojmë thjesht se i mban
këto një Ëngjëll të tëra! Të aftët arrijnë atje…

Uroj një ecuri dinamike, shëndet përparim te krijuesi Kristaq F. Shabani…
Të gjithë presim kaq gjëra të shumta nga ky luftëtar i lindur që është çasti i
parë dhe një mikuynë kaq i mirë bashkë
me ne, Faleminderit që më ftoi pranë tij. Ju faleminderit që më dëgjuat…

Critical Article on Kristaq F Shabani’s book
Humiliated Virtue ---

By K. K. SRIVASTAVA

NEW
DELHI, INDIA

“For
every poet it is always the morning in the world, and History a forgotten
insomniac night; History and elemental awe are always our early beginning,
because the fate of poetry is to fall in love with the world, in spite of
History.”

Derek Walcott

Any
article, critical one at that (I leave the hazards of what is meant by the word
“critical writings” to the imagination of distinguished audience present here)
will not start on a judicious note unless the writer of that article is sure
about the relationship that exists between the background and the figure that
will be the subject matter of such an article. Let me place my cards on the
table. In one of the articles I wrote on the Poetry of Wendy Webb recently, I
tried to explain that relationship and I reproduce the excerpts:

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:46 pm

“The
world of poetry is not a facile and straight world. It is a world characterized by hostile
presence of structures, firm and high, crumbling and dwindling, having acute
frustrations and severe conflicts, with perceivable areas of darkness and
hidden areas of illumination, varied and skewed, but enlightening always trying
to bring to the fore buried potential of words.
It is a world full of dichotomies: pleasures and perils, love and
hatred, gains and losses all are intermingled but unaccountably. The onus of explaining that unaccountability
rests with the writers, a term that mercifully includes poets too. The word “mercifully” used here is to remind
ourselves that poetry as a genre is exhibiting a decreasing trend all over the
world with no big publishers as takers for poetry books and no big
readership. It is really a strange
world-it’s strangeness makes the texture of life of poets and it’s strangeness
forms the wrap and the woof of what we call poetry: good or bad. There is really no good poetry or no bad
poetry-a poem is a poem as perceived by the readers. Perception again is motivated by personal
experiences and motives. The fact that
even after about fifty years of their having been penned, let me take an
example of a Hindi poet from my own country i.e. Muktibodh, whose poems, longer
ones in particular still continue to be subject matter of a great debate and
discussion as regards their real motive and meaning, speaks a lot of an
unending tendency of readers cutting across all cultures to keep absorbing
newer and newer facets of long existing poems.
That is one way history of literature ensures

So aptly writes T. S. Eliot in his poem, A Note on War Poetry-

That is a life.

Though a
poem has a life but it does not die. It
dies the moment people stop reading it or looking at it. No poem thus dies or ceases to exist as no
one on this earth can ever guarantee that a poem, however obscure and nebulous
that might be, will never be read.”

The above citation is primarily meant to
convey the general milieu about the prevailing poetic scene and the troubling
contexts against which poets pen their verses. There is hardy any denying that
many voices, in the humdrum world of contemporary poetry, nowadays don’t
captivate us. They don’t as they have their dimensions unable to stir the
conscience of readers, readers find it hard to mingle their dreams and realties
as well with these voices, they find in difficult to perceive their identities
as submerging into these voices. It is the “profound pleasure” that one seeks
in poems, it is the “emotional tranquility” that one gropes in for in poems, it
is the “bliss of solitude” that one aspires for in a poem.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:49 pm

Recently I have had the occasion to sate my intellectual appetite in terms of pleasure, tranquility and bliss in the form of my reading Kristaq F Shabani’ intellectually inspiring collection of poems—“Humiliated Virtue” (translated by Vassiliki Kalahani, Kostas Gatzonis). It resonates with echoes of the Greek mythology. It is a collection that addresses bigger and more versatile issues that modern philosophy brings to poets and writers, reinforced by constant cultural reorientation which in turn mixes together
anxieties of modern human beings with the growing need to have a spiritualistic way of life. In brief, this collection tackles broader structures of the literature which nowadays is referred to as “post-post modernism”.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:50 pm

Kristaq F Shabani’ verse, like Ezra Pound’ Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (Contacts and Life) speculate about the hopelessness of a modern mind pitted against civilization’s oddities. Self clashes with self depicting the superficial problems of self-centered people and leave us amid abandonment and cataclysm. Kristaq writes in Introduction in Humiliated Virtue:
“When the
tears start to fall, Virtues face humiliation.
Man that is so sarcastic asks the ENTITY
What is left from MAN;
The Entity is silent with an unprecedented
muteness.

Tears only show weaknesses or do they seek
their secret synonymns…”

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:52 pm

Let us compare these sentiments from Part V of Pound’s Huge Selwyn Mauberly:

“There died a myriad

And of the best, among them,

For an old bitch gone in the teeth,

For a botched civilization…”

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:52 pm

This volume of Shabani is one of the more completely realized and artistically
accomplished volumes I have seen in recent past. The underlying elements of
Puritanism in the book are it’s hallmark and there is a smoother show of
violence and tenderness in his lines. ”What is left of MAN” besieges the
readers with regard to hopelessness that loafers around not in the darkness
outside but within. Shabani’ s all efforts as I move through his book convinces me of his astute determination to coax the light out of darkness within and then submerge it with greater conscience.

Orphan in “Humiliated Virtue”

There are half - hidden images in above lines-the images that evoke a sense of
formlessness but keep stirring. “A very deep darkness” is a silhouette against the stirrings of hidden light. I have reasons to find traces of influence of writings of Nietzsche in Shabani’s poetry.

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:56 pm

Remember the description by Nietzsche of the market crowded with human beings, gossiping and purchasing, walking aimlessly when suddenly a naked man came running
shouting “God is dead. God is dead.” And then blamed the crowd for having killed God. And the crowd, in turn, baptized that man as “mad.” For Shabani, as it was for Nietzsche, poetry is an experience that goes beyond words despite the uneasiness that accompanies being an intellectual in rebellion as Shabani is. Shabani questions through his poems rationality of thoughts which are subject matter of his imaginative game and emotional ambivalence. He questions the order, autocratic orders to which are subordinate human beings. He comes so close to Auden who writes,

Titulli: Re: Mendime kritike Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:58 pm

“When he laughed, respected senators burst with
laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in
the streets.”

W. H. Auden in Epitaph of a Tyrant Hand

And again with Pentti Saarikoski, the poet from Finland—

“Tyrants wer
People
Who undressed
And got dressed
Worked into the small dark hours”
Invitation to the Dance

“Kings ascend and descend
From their thrones.
The “Vicars” of Bregi
In the same roles
Only that they change their cloths like
masks…”

The Vicars in “Humiliated Virtue” This is where images of past and present become one; the poet continually looking
from the center of an old civilization into the prospects of contemporary life.
The aura of sycophancy he abhors. Looking back at short, thought provoking
poems of Humiliated Virtue one wonders if the poet has overcome ruptured images
of the conflicts between good and bad or still he has to overcome these as often
times we find him providing us a psychological armour to his readers to cope
with their anxieties.

He suggests

“the night is so endless…

AROMAS
Kristaq is intellectually graceful, erudite, knowledgeable and dreamy. In his poems it
is easy to notice thoughts disappearing into images, to appreciate his recourse
to Greek mythology, to be stunned with originality and artistic exuberance of
poems and above all to see “the pearls” of his literary achievements. He writes
with as much passionate energy as is possible covering an impressive array of
topics. His kaleidoscopic mind touches virtually everything from mundane to
metaphysical, personal to political catching a variety of moods and
perspectives. Most refreshing phenomenon about his poetry is that he is not a
self obsessed poet and he enjoys illuminating the world both internal and
external in all their radiance. Written in free verse his poems have rhythm and are lyrical, beautiful blend of time and space. He locates the self in the backwash of history and culture and portrays his feelings with the solitude of an observer. His is a voice –ample strong and eerie. Built up from details his poems are deep and intense posing
eschatological and philosophical questions which I sincerely hope the honoured

About the Reviewer:----

K.
K. Srivastava, born in 1960 in Gorakhpur, U. P. did his M.A in Economics in
1980 from Gorakhpur University. He has two volumes of books of poems to his
credit. Ineluctable Stillness (2005)
and An Armless Hand Writes. His
books have been reviewed in newspapers like Hindustan Times, Pioneer, Tribune
on Sunday etc. Bernard M. Jackson, a prominent poet from U. K and adviser to
Norfolk poets, in his review of Ineluctable Stillness, described Srivastava’s
poems as “work of a perfectionist in his natural element’ and compared
Srivastava’s poems with those of T.S. Eliot. Dr. Stephen Gill, Canada based
poet has called Srivastava a “thinker” and praised symbolic nature of his
poems. Pioneer compared An Armless Hand Writes with Eliot’s The Waste Land. Dr
Kurt F Savtek, a poet and several times Noble Prize nominee for literature from
Austria while reviewing the book for Poetcrit (ISSN 0970 2830) Vol XXII January
2009 No 1 writes about An Armless Hand Writes, “The book contains a whole host
of life impressions offered with deep wisdom and truth and with the look on
essential things-touching and thought provoking. All on a high linguistic
level….” Teresinka Pereira, President of IWA based in Ohio, USA described
Srivastava poetry “very excellent.” Jayanta
Mahapatra, celebrated Indian poet described poems in An Armless Hand Writes as
‘deep and moving. ” Sunday Tribune, despite noticing both “erudition” and
“credence” in Srivastava’s poems described An Armless Hand Writes as “cold
philosophy”. In a review of his book Ineluctable Stillness in Hindustan Times,
it was mentioned that, “He is not a genteel poet, he is a disturbing poet,
intent on unraveling the human mind of it’s false preconceptions, of it’s
delusive hypocrisy

masked as
genuine emotions.” Likewise, Bernard Jackson says of An Armless Hand Writes in
ezine, eTIPS issued from London, “
Srivastava like a virtual Sophoclesian Tiresius of the more modern, decadent
world to which he clings (and yet does not entirely belong) comments incisively
on the self-centered facades masking the shell of an empty and purposeful
society.” Srivastava, was conferred the membership of IWA (International
Writers and Artists Organization) Ohio, U.S.A (recognized by UNESCO) in March
2009 for what IWA cited as, “his distinguished literary, intellectual, artistic
and humanistic contributions”.
